If you run that campaign and then a week later start luring people across the floor, appointing people to the senate so that they can fill cabinet posts and then going flat-out against a policy you campaigned on (which also costs many retired people millions and millions of dollars) you run the same risk as the party you ousted.
The thing is with the income trust debacle, it had to be done. That being said it could've been done on a smaller scale and prevented the major losses for the average joe while still protecting the governments income.

I agree, I was not happy with a few things that have been done over the last 2 half years. I was disappointed in the party and Harper. But then I think, what would it be like with the others in power and what have the conservatives accomplished or attempted to accomplish since they were in power and my support always comes back to them.
